Clay Spirit Animals

Clay Spirit Animals
5th Grade 

Students began this unit by experimenting with different clay techniques.  After looking at Native American totem poles and images of patronuses (from Harry Potter), students thought about their personalities and interests and chose an animal to be their spirit animal.   Students had the choice of making a slab mug, box, or a sculpture for their project.  

Working with clay included rolling slabs, sculpting clay, scoring and slipping, carving, and adding texture.
